Patrick Scott: Image Space Light brings together the most comprehensive representation of the recently deceased artist’s 75 year long career. Scott had his first exhibition in 1941 with the White Stag Group. The exhibition at IMMA concentrates on Scott’s early works from the 1940s to the early 70s while VISUAL displays works from the 1960s to the present.

Born in 1921 in Kilbrittain, Co Cork, Patrick Scott passed away on 14 February 2014. From 1945 he spent 15 years working with Michael Scott in the architectural practice of what became Scott Tallon Walker, where his innate talent as an artist and designer developed in unison. He became a leading graphic designer with the Signa Design Consultancy (set up in 1953 by Michael Scott and Louis le Brocquy), all the while continuing to test various ideas in his painting. On winning a National Prize at the Guggenheim International Award in 1960 and representing Ireland at the XXX Venice Biennale in the same year, Scott became a full-time artist.
